Derek Uzzell Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 A similar question was asked on the MHFacts forum in 2013 http://forums.motorhomefacts.com/49-tech-mech-chat/110603-omni-step-rubber-strips.html The latest steps have anti-slip ‘rubbers’ and there is no indication in the Thule catalogue (link in the MHFacts thread) that these are available separately. If you can remove your step’s rubbers easily - which I think may have been possible with some models of step - you might find there is something equivalent (or something that can be adapted) in the catalogue of this company http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I've noticed that some people cover the step with a green coarse open-weave material. I think the idea of this is to allow grit and stuff to drop through the open weave material - like a door mat. Don't know how anti-slip this material would be but imagine it is sold at caravan outlets, judging by the number I've seen. So, instead of replacing the rubbers, this could be an alternative solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanracer Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks for replies,I have a Seals direct catalogue I buy from them items for my boat, another company I will check is C O H Baines LTD. I thought by now this little strip of rubber would have been identified rather then ordering from dealer without big price mark up. So search begins. Yes the green mat that goes over the step looks a good alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are describing is a Mat, sold by Fiamma, held on by Stainless steel springs. they come in green or black. http://www.towsure.com/fiamma-clean-step-single Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
